October 2019

Posted on October 3, 2019 by Susan M. Olson

October is Family History month. Each year, in the library front hall we have a display. This is the display for October 2019.

Our October meeting is Monday, October 7, 2019, at 1 pm, inside the Fort Dodge Public library.

Over the past few months, we have been sorting a donation received by the family of Judy Ort. She is a member that passed recently.

It is now “sorted”. I am looking through the items to see what needs to be scanned.

October 10, 11, and 12th I will be in Des Moines at the 2019 Fall conference for the Iowa State Genealogical Society. Along with being the President of the Webster County Genealogical Society, I am also the district rep for Region 12. I will be attending the conference and attending IGS meetings. This a picture of the conference last year of the speaker, Lisa Louise Cooke and members of the Webster County Genealogical Society.
